Thanks y'all! For a change this year I'll be actually celebrating. Last year I blew the whole thing off Better health and labs will afford me an outing with alcohol consumption. Going out for a nice dinner with some friends in NYC on the actual birth date so come Tuesday I'll be gone for a five day jaunt. Will report back.

~ David

ps: and many thanks to Alan in 'Bama for always keeping our birthdays noticed!

Hell, I didn't know your name was David either..Always wonders how Alan knows all these things.. Happy 39th..Don't do what I wouldn't do...no don't listen to me, I'm not doing shit.....Go do you and have a great time doing it...

Her finely-touched spirit had still its fine issues, though they were not widely visible. Her full nature, like that river of which Cyrus broke the strength, spent itself in channels which had no great name on the earth. But the effect of her being on those around her was incalculably diffusive: for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.

ps: I had one of my all time TOP THREE dinners last night at del Posto in NYC. Five course meal with diffrent wine with each course... and of course I paid nary a cent! the sweetbreads, fois gras (sp?) and venison were exquisite! And you can't beat five waiters serving you at once.

Anyone going on a trip to NYC surely please treat yourself to this Mario Batiali tour de force.

errr... it was something I used to PM to this guy in Ft. Lauderdale who as head of security at the airport. He seemed to enjoy the pictures to no end.

Anyway, those days are over. I met a very strict boyfriend who kept me locked in a chastity belt. But he's "86" now for the past few years. I'll have to remember to located my dildo stash when I get back to philly... they're probably all atrophied by now anyway.

Today was SHOPPING DAY... and damn, do I feel good. Got the greatest little Westwood jacket and shirt, but one thing I'll have to return. Such is life. Tomorrow is Birthday Dinner #2 with some other old friends so you know there's nothing like extending the festivities as much as possible.

Oh, and Saturday will be Birthday Dinner #3 and then I'll be back in Philly on Sunday.

*sigh*... I'm sure I'll be a major porker by next week. MUST JOIN GYM AGAIN.... or that Greek pic of me will be for naught.

... and I'm about to go exploring in the basement for my ancient porn collection (oh! I FOUND MY FAB CUSTOM MADE CHAPS AND MULTIPLE LEATHER VESTS YESTERDAY PACKED AWAY) and will be sure to locate some vintage Jon King madness to share! I have something like a dozen boxes of porn stored away down there.
